Hi Class,
I really enjoyed this class it has given me the opportunity to
see the different types of management styles that are out there.
Along with being a strong leader one must also have a great
team in place. A great leader can not do all the work to be
successful. Showing respect, compassion, and letting
employees share there ideas is just a few of the ways Indra
Nooyi leads her employees. It was interesting to see how she
brought her vision for PepsiCo to life even when everyone
thought she was crazy that a soft drink company should have
healthier snacks and beverages. Believing that companies
should give back to the communities, the planet, and
underdeveloped countries are just a few reasons that I believe
she is a great leader. Nooyi's beliefs that you should always
continue to learn even when your at the top is another reason
she is a great leader, she doesn't believe she knows everything
already. I am really glad I choose her as a leader to report
about, she is an inspiration to us all.
For me I have found out after taking the Clifton Survey that
my five top themes are that I am a relator, responsibility,
achiever, futuristic, and input. I believe these treats are true to

Indra Nooyi was a kind, thoughtful, driven, confident, humble,
and knowledgable leader who gained those abilities throughout
her life. In the final paragraphs of my final milestone, I discuss
how I strongly feel our lives influence our leadership abilities
as much as our embedded genetics. Individuals who have had
the opportunity to play organized sports learned from a young
age what teamwork was like. Individuals who were brought up
in homes of beautiful culture have a strong understanding of
cultural differences and how to connect those bridges. Or even
the individuals who had a strict upbringing know to be extra
prepared and plan ahead more than likely making them very

our upbringing and the experiences we've had from a young age
